Red Knobbly Nuggets and Weeds

We have had a lovely afternoon at Freshwinds.
There was some sun and it wasn`t cold.
The rabbits and guinea pigs are safely installed in their new "stable." And they look quite happy there.


I got stuck in to one of the flower beds. It was digging over nicely.
Nettle seedlings, goosegrass and buttercups.
 

Then we made a start on the big raised bed.
The soil was beautiful.....crumbly and easy to work. 
I had to go carefully round the iris pieces which had been swamped by grass.


 















Rhubarb has started.....with its funny knobbly red nuggets.


The cerinthe is seeding itself all over the place.


As we packed up to come home, the sun was sinking further round across the barn.
 



The sky was beautiful.


At home some welcome purchases from Aldi and Morrisons.
 

 












Might have to plant some sweetpea seeds soon.

Guess who the next scarecrow will be......






















 Paula knitted the scarf and the hat came from a charity shop.
Looking for a frock coat next.
